looks neat as an instagram-like frontend for Mastodon api compatible softwares: https://oslo.town/@matt/114994487058558789

I know PixelFed exists but it's all just text and video and images at the end of the day - so what if the Mastodon interface just looked like Instagram and then you could sign in using your existing Mastodon account... a concept:

This is just hacked together real quick, but should I work on this to make it a real thing?

I've been thinking for quite some time that something like this would be cool, and that you can get lots of different types of fedi "experience" out of putting different frontends together that cater to different styles.

what if we found a way to harness all the energy used by proof-of-work challenges in LLM countermeasures and directed it to a very large laser, which we then pointed at Sam Altman's head?

feel like this would solve so many problems!

Everyone believes learning how to computer is the kind of thing that only happens to other people
